Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"If a party ... fails to obey an order to provide or permit discovery, including an order made under Article 1469 ... the court in which the action is pending may make such orders in regard to the failure as are just, and among others the following: * * * * * * (3) An order striking out pleadings or parts thereof, or staying further proceedings until the order is obeyed, or dismissing the action or proceeding or any part thereof, or rendering a judgment by default against the disobedient party."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The ultimate sanction for a recalcitrant plaintiff who fails to comply with discovery orders is dismissal of the suit, and the ultimate sanction for such a defendant is the rendering of a “judgment by default.” The trial court has much discretion in selecting the appropriate sanction for failure to comply with discovery orders and a judgment granting a sanction will not be disturbed absent a clear showing of abuse.”
